Better Win Moving up? Linares or Horn?”

A guy in Loma who naturally weighs 130lbs moving up to fight a legend in the game in the 135 Jorge Linares, or a man who naturally weighs more or less 180lbs in Terrance Crawford who drained himself to compete at welter to fight the 147lb Jeff Horn who was coming off a 3 car collision accident. Then having to train in barbaric conditions in the sweltering heat in a 130 degrees gym that had no air conditioning or windows at all, until his good friend Kevin Barry gave him a way out of there?

And lets not forget the damage Lomachenko done to his shoulder, completely reputuring the supraspinatus tendons, joints and ligaments mid way through the fight after getting knocked down.

Crawford was ready to completely pull out before a bell had even been sounded, from merely injuring his hand

 

Great Minds Think Alike



And Loma’s win over Linares definitely

 

I think the Linares win was the greater.
Linares was a proven world champ who had won world titles in other divisions and had a decent resume. Horn had only had 19 fights

 

Linares is far better in a p4p sense than Horn

 

equal for me. linares carries more clout, but horn was humiliated the whole way.

 

Inoue. There's a guy like 2 sizes bigger, long reining legit champ, never been stopped and unbeaten for a decade. And there's the full 90 seconds he lasts:

yes, thats a curb stomping of a big dude.

 

Linares obviously on another level

 

Inoue is seriously hot, I mean Sexy Sergio level... McDonnell actually got away easier than Narvaez or say Boyeaux, who was literally screaming in pain. That sh!t looks and sounds savage vs another neutral FW.

Seems like the ta was doing his best to be unbiased in the op. Definitely didn't want to infer that one had easier conditions than the other.

Sure, Lomas win is better imo. Still a very good win for Crawford though. Horn might not be no ATG, though he has a better singular win than anything on Linares record, but he's still a very good fighter. I think most had Horn rated correctly going into this bout and I haven't seen anyone claiming it as some kind of ATG win, just a quality performance by a quality fighter.

Crawfords big fights are all with PBC currently but if he gets them then those are the fights that will probably define his career.

 

Linares at the moment for me, but if Horn bounces back and manages to mix it up at the top level, I'll change my mind on this.

 

Linares is considerably better than Horn, and if his chin was better I'd say that wasn't just in the p4p sense (but as it stands if he moved up and fought Horn h2h Linares would get put in a coma)

 

I would go Jefferey Horn. Awkward physically imposing durable boxer something you can't teach. You really got to work to get that W.

You look at Linares TKO he was done.Linares was out and he has always folded in big fights. So it's nothing new.

But Horn could have continued he wasn't hurt. Byrd was a bit too premature with that stoppage.

 

LOL you complaining about a fighter not being allowed to rush in head first and roughhouse his opponent is laughable, especially given all the crying you did about Ward manhandling Kovalev. So if Ward does it, it's dirty, if Horn does it, it exceptable. In both instances you cried about the "terrible" reffing. You need to stop the hypocracy! You are ruining your stellar reputation on this site.

 

If we go by your logic it should be horn after all you picked him to destroy Crawford while you picked Loma to school linares.
